  Get Head Set from Java TreeSet example
  This Java Example shows how to get the portion of TreeSet containing the values
  less than the specified value using headSet method of Java TreeSet class.

/*
      To get a Head Set from Java TreeSet use,
      SortedSet headSet(Object fromElement) method of Java TreeSet class.
     
      This method returns the portion of TreeSet containing elements less than
      fromElement.

      Please note that, the SortedSet returned by this method is backed by
      the original TreeSet. So any changes made to SortedSet will be
      reflected back to original TreeSet.

    System.out.println
("Head Set Contains : " + sortedSet);

/*
Output would be
Head Set Contains : [1, 2]
